My old G1 is stuck on Donut :-( Everything from Eclair onwards just kills the poor thing, and tethering never worked reliably. > I hope your employer has better redundancy that you do ;-) Of course :-) Everything on the core network is at least duplicated. As for us plebs at home, our usual backup is the 3G card but between one team member crashing a motorbike badly, another (me) crashing a motorbike poorly, one off sick with flu, one transferred to another team, and everyone at home without petrol (fuel and metal workers strike ... please don't ask), none of us remember where the damn card is anymore. The other redundancy is the back up modem, which I have never needed to use and now suffers from a bad case of electron-rot. OK, it's probably electrolytic caps deteriorated from heat, but electron rot sounds much more dramatic ;-) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
